The Cape Breton Fiddlers Marathon is located on the beautiful island of Cape Breton, along Sydney's waterfront. Known for its "Giant Fiddle", Sydney is full of vibrant, friendly runners who will welcome you with a smile.

If you wish to defer to 2021, you must contact us by June 1st via email: info@capebretonfiddlersrun.com. There will be no refunds, no exceptions.
